Adsorption of pharmaceutical pollutants onto graphene nanoplatelets

Ciprofloxacin adsorption on graphene and granular activated carbon: kinetics, isotherms, and effects of solution chemistry

“…[17][18][19] Over the last few years, graphene and graphene-based materials have been widely studied as next-generation adsorbents in water/wastewater treatment processes. [17,20] In accordance with its large specific surface area and π -electron-rich aromatic structure, graphene has demonstrated high adsorption capacities (hundreds of milligrams per gram) for a range of organic compounds through strong π − π interaction, such as sulphamethoxazole (another heavily used antibiotic), [21] pharmaceuticals, [22] naphthalene, [23] acrylonitrile, [24] 2 X. Zhu et al biphenyl, [25] as well as lysozyme protein.…”

Removal of triphenylmethane dyes by calcium carbonate–lentinan hierarchical mesoporous hybrid materials

“…The constants q 2 and k 2 can be calculated from the intercepts of the linear plots of t/q t versus t. h can be obtained from Eq. (6) [29,30]. Fig.…”

Removal of acetaminophen from the contaminated water using adsorption onto carbon activated with NH4Cl

“…Although several studies have been performed to examine removal of pharmaceutical compounds by different activated carbon, no one has utilized NH 4 Cl-induced activated carbon (NAC) for ACT adsorption [9][10][11][12][13][14]. ACT (paracetamol and para-acetylaminophenol) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is widely used for pain relief and fever reduction all over the world today [15,16].…”
